1. Heat oven to 375˚F. In a small bowl, stir together ketchup and brown sugar and set aside.

2. Place breadcrumbs and milk in another small bowl, and let stand until breadcrumbs have absorbed milk and are soft.

3. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumb mixture with ground beef, onion, carrot, parsley, thyme, eggs, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into the shape of a football and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
